Located in the heart of historic St. Augustine, Casa Monica Resort & Spa, Autograph Collection is one of Florida's most celebrated luxury hospitality landmarks. Originally opened in 1888, the iconic property showcases striking Moorish Revival architecture and has long served as a defining centerpiece of the nation's oldest city. Its rich history, distinctive design, and premier location create a hospitality experience that seamlessly connects timeless elegance with modern luxury.
The resort features luxury guest accommodations, a full-service spa, refined dining venues, elegant event spaces, resort-style amenities, and thoughtfully curated public areas that reflect the property's historic character. Positioned adjacent to St. Augustine's renowned cultural landmarks, museums, and pedestrian streets, the hotel continues to serve as a premier destination for leisure travelers, weddings, corporate events, and cultural tourism.
The property's extensive renovation focused on preserving its architectural heritage while modernizing guestrooms, public spaces, meeting venues, wellness amenities, and operational infrastructure to meet contemporary luxury standards. Executed within an active historic hotel, the project required meticulous planning, specialized craftsmanship, and careful coordination to protect the building's historic integrity while delivering a refined, elevated guest experience.
Today, Casa Monica Resort & Spa remains one of Florida's most iconic luxury hospitality destinations, demonstrating how thoughtful restoration and reinvestment can preserve architectural legacy while supporting the continued growth of one of the country's most significant historic communities. The project stands as a testament to the enduring value of revitalizing landmark properties that define the character and identity of their surrounding cities.
